The buttery, flaky, deliciously cheesy biscuits from Red Lobster are one of the chain’s main attractions, and now you can make them from scratch at home too. As a bonus, you’re also getting a recipe for homemade bisquick!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour*
• 1/4 cup shortening*
• 1 tsp salt*
• 2 tbsp baking powder*
• 4 tbsps butter (cold)
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
• 3/4 cup whole milk (cold)
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsps melted butter
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp parsley flakes (dried)
• 1 pinch salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a blender or hand mix until mixture resembles fine crumbs.*
   *If making larger batches of homemade bisquick, store it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge. Use 2 1/2 cups for this recipe.
3. Combine flour mixture and cold butter until you get a crumbly mixture with bits about the size of peas.
4. Add cheddar, milk and 1/4 tsp garlic.
5. Mix by hand until combined, but don’t over mix.
6. Drop 9 equal portions onto greased cookie sheet.
7. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until tops are light brown.
8. Melt 2 tbsp butter in a bowl. Stir in 1/2 tsp garlic powder and parsley flakes.
